Description

As a teen, Vito Poletto (’18) poured himself into soccer as a way to cope with the tragic loss of his sister. He became quite good, and when he was 18, he moved to Germany where he played professionally. But after some serious injuries, he decided to move back to Canada and explore higher education. That’s when he discovered TWU and fell in love with the campus. Though he wasn’t a Christian at the time, something about the place drew him in. What happened during his time at the University changed his life forever.
